Riding out of Glasgow. you just follow the path along the Kelvin River. We had some difficulty finding our way down to the river, but once there it was an absolute pleasure

Once you leave the Kelvin River the path passes through some farmlands. It's quite narrow and rough in some sections. Beware of hidden potholes

Singletrack Along the River

I'll bet it's pretty shin bashing stuff in the summer, but it's a super fun single track along a lovely bit of a river!

The start of the West Highland Way is very urban, and the first section will feel more like a country park. Good paths and signs will lead you out of the town towards Loch Lomond.
